Panchang
Today is Tritiya of Shukla Paksha in Kartika month, with the Moon in Vishakha Nakshatra. Rahu Kaal: 10:20 am–11:45 am. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:22 am to 12:08 pm. The answers below are calculated for Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and refresh every day.
On Friday, 20 October 2028, the tithi in Ayodhya is Tritiya, from 02:00 am to 11:33 pm, followed by Chaturthi, from 11:33 pm to 09:49 pm (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Kartika (Amanta) / Kartika (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Vishakha, from 02:58 pm (prev day) to 12:57 pm, then Anuradha, from 12:57 pm to 11:36 am (next day) on Friday, 20 October 2028 in Ayodhya. The Moon is in Libra and the Sun in Libra.
Rahu Kaal in Ayodhya today (Friday) runs from 10:20 am to 11:45 am. It is a period of about 90 minutes that is traditionally avoided for starting new ventures; its timing depends on the weekday and on local sunrise and sunset, so it differs from city to city.
In Ayodhya on Friday, 20 October 2028, sunrise is at 06:03 am and sunset at 05:28 pm; moonrise is at 08:20 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Ayodhya today is from 11:22 am to 12:08 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 07:28 am–08:54 am; Amrit 08:54 am–10:20 am; Shubh 11:45 am–01:11 pm. Choghadiya divides the day and the night into eight parts each; Amrit, Shubh and Labh are the auspicious ones.
The Panchang is computed for the exact coordinates of Ayodhya (26.79°N, 82.20°E) from the real positions of the Sun and Moon. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are shown with their start and end times, in Ayodhya's local time.
“Panchang” means “five limbs”: tithi (lunar day), vaar (weekday), nakshatra (the lunar mansion the Moon occupies), yoga (a Sun–Moon angular combination) and karana (half of a tithi). Together with Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat and choghadiya, they are used to choose favourable times for prayers, travel and new beginnings.
